Support by individuals, companies and foundations enable MercyFirst to do those things that government funds will not pay for and that parents are not around to provide:

• Scholarship Assistance to help our graduates attend college or vocational school;
• Summer Youth Employment to expose our youth to the responsibilities and rewards of work;
• Tutoring Assistance to help our youth make up for lost time in school;
• Housing Assistance so our older youth have a better chance to succeed in living independently;
• Life Skills Training that teach responsibility and help prepare youth for success beyond MercyFirst
through Workshops, Career Days, Dog Training Program, Mentors, volunteer opportunities in the
community and much more.
